Background
In the technical field of high-capacity high-power electronic current transformation, a multi-level current converter integrates an energy storage device into a sub-module by utilizing a modular cascade technology, has the advantages of high modularization degree, good harmonic characteristic, equivalent switching frequency and the like, and is a standard topology in the field of high-voltage power electronics at present. The energy storage unit is integrated in the modularized multi-level converter as a sub-module, so that alternating current-direct current power conversion and energy storage can be realized at the same time.
The produced active modular converter is a feasible scheme which can effectively meet the access requirement of an energy storage system and relieve or isolate fault propagation between alternating current and direct current systems. The multi-level converter with the energy storage unit needs to consider the condition of energy storage unit failure or power unit failure. The submodules in different states have different operating characteristics, for example, the normal submodules of the energy storage unit can provide active power and reactive power, and the fault of the energy storage unit or the submodules without the energy storage unit can only play the roles of regulating the reactive power and supporting alternating voltage.
In the prior art, a control concept of a capacitor submodule and an energy storage submodule is introduced into a single-phase power control method of a hybrid unit cascade H-bridge energy storage system, a working vector diagram of the system is analyzed, however, the number of various types of submodules is neglected to be dynamically changed, and the active power and reactive power regulation capacity of a converter chain is changed along with the change of the number. In this case, the commutation chain may not be able to perform as commanded due to limitations in power regulation capabilities when it receives control commands. If the instruction is still executed according to the original instruction, a series of problems such as system control instability and the like can be caused.

In step S250, the energy storage commutation chain executes closed-loop control according to the distributed active power correction instruction and reactive power correction instruction; and the non-energy-storage current conversion chain executes closed-loop control according to the distributed reactive power correction instruction.
According to an example embodiment of the application, said control system in said converter chain is divided into two subsystems, namely: the first control subsystem controls the energy storage commutation chain; and the first control subsystem controls the energy-free commutation chain. The control system coordinates inputs and outputs of the first control subsystem and the second control subsystem. The energy storage current conversion chain has active and reactive adjusting capacity at the same time, and active power output is preferred. The non-energy-storage current conversion chain has reactive power regulation capability and takes priority on reactive power output.
The process that the energy storage commutation chain executes closed-loop control according to the distributed active power correction instruction and reactive power correction instruction comprises the following steps: taking the distributed active power correction instruction and reactive power correction instruction as an outer loop control target; obtaining a current instruction value of an inner ring by a regulator according to the difference value between the outer ring control target and the measured value; obtaining an output voltage set value by a difference value between the current instruction value and the current measured value through a regulator; distributing the given value of the output voltage to each energy storage sub-module; and each energy storage sub-module controls the output voltage according to the given value of the output voltage.
The process that the non-energy-storage current conversion chain executes closed-loop control according to the distributed reactive power correction instruction comprises the following steps: taking the direct-current voltage average value of the non-energy-storage converter submodule and the distributed reactive power as an outer ring control target; obtaining a current instruction value of an inner ring by a regulator according to the difference value between the outer ring control target and the measured value; the difference value between the current instruction value and the measured value is adjusted by a regulator to obtain an output voltage set value; distributing the given value of the output voltage to each energy-free submodule; and each energy-free sub-module controls the output voltage according to the given value of the output voltage.
In the above commutation chain control method, the energy storage submodule and the energy-free submodule may be switched with each other; the energy storage sub-module or the non-energy storage sub-module may be converted to a fault bypass sub-module. That is, N1, N2, and N3 can be dynamically changed, N1 and N2 can be changed in both directions, N1 or N2 can be changed in one direction to N3, and N1+ N2+ N3 is equal to N. Therefore, the number of the sub-modules with energy storage, the sub-modules without energy storage and the sub-modules with fault bypass can be adjusted according to the control requirement.
In the operation process, when an energy storage unit in the energy storage submodule has a fault, the isolating switch is separated or the DC/DC loop is locked, and the energy storage submodule is converted into an energy-free submodule; updating the number N of the energy storage sub-modules1And the number N of said energy-free submodules2(ii) a And repeating the steps in the current conversion chain control method, so that the distribution relation of the active power instruction and the reactive power instruction can be updated.
Similarly, when a power unit in the energy storage sub-module fails, the bypass switch is closed, and the energy storage sub-module is converted into a fault bypass sub-module; when a power unit in the non-energy-storage sub-module fails, the bypass switch is closed, and the non-energy-storage sub-module is converted into a fault bypass sub-module; updating the number N of the energy storage sub-modules1And the number N of said energy-free submodules2(ii) a The steps in the commutation chain control method are repeated, and the distribution relation of the active power instruction and the reactive power instruction can also be updated.

In step S720, the numbers of the energy storage submodules and the energy-free submodules in the A, B, C three-phase commutation chain are respectively adjusted, so that the numbers of the energy storage submodules in the A, B, C three-phase commutation chain are all N1minThe number of the energy-storage-free sub-modules is N2minAnd the following conditions are satisfied:
N1min=min(N1A;N1B;N1C)
N2min=min(N2A+N1A-N1min;N2B+N1B-N1min;N2C+N1C-N1min)。
e.g. N1A=8、N2A=2、N1B=6、N2B=3、N1C=9、N2C=1。N1min=min(N1A;N1B;N1C)=min(8;6;9)=6。N2min=min(4;3;4)=3。
For the a-phase converter chain, 1 of the 8 energy storage sub-modules may be converted into an energy-free sub-module, and 1 may be converted into a fault bypass sub-module. Converted N1A=8-1-1=6, N 2A2+ 1-3. For a B-phase current chain, it may remain unchanged. For the C-phase converter chain, 2 of the 9 energy storage sub-modules may be converted into energy-free sub-modules, 1 may be converted into a fault bypass sub-module, and N is obtained after the conversion1A=9-2-1=6,N2A1+ 2-3. In this way, the same quantity of ABC three-phase converter chain energy storage sub-modules and energy-free sub-modules is realized.

in step S740, when the number of the energy storage sub-modules or the number of the energy storage sub-modules of the A, B, C three-phase converter chain is changed, the above steps are repeated.
